In this small Indie, short narrative-based game, you take the role of the Grim Reaper... on an office job. Your job is to decide which people are going to live or die. Your choices will affect the world around you. Keep the chaos away or foil plots to destroy the world and rise through the ranks of Reapers all the way up to MIDDLE-MANAGEMENT, wow!


Death and Taxes is a game in the vein of narrative-based indie titles, such as "Papers, Please", "Reigns", "Beholder" and "Animal Inspector", to name a few. The consequences of your choices are yours to bear, while the mystery of your incarnation awaits revelation!

Enjoyable

I wanted something different and found this demo truly relaxing and enjoyable. The dialogue is simple and witty enough for me and the setting is nice. I suppose I'd like more reaper customizations and hope there are more unlockables. I haven't played too much but what I have I truly like. Cheers

I liked it

I've been curious about this game so when I saw the demo so decided to try it. It's seems like it will be a pretty entertaining game so it's on my Wishlist now. I'm not in a huge hurry to get it, but when it seems like it would be the right kind of game, I'll know where to find it. I think the demo is plenty long enough to help you determine if the game is for you or not.

Is this helpful to you?
